Denmark's Kosovo Prison Deal Delayed | Copenhagen News

Denmark’s plan to ship foreign inmates to Kosovo is hitting another major delay—construction of the prison facility won’t be ready until late 2027 or early 2028, pushing back the start of deportations from early 2023. With Danish prisons chronically overcrowded and the goal to free up space by relocating sentenced foreign nationals, this setback frustrates officials despite Kosovo’s prison being already cleared. Past delays stemmed from political hurdles in Kosovo, but now it’s construction holding things up—yet the government remains committed to making this a top priority to tackle overcrowding and deportation bottlenecks.
